Care

Sit in my hand, and
I promise I won't
make you wind around
my finger,


You can just sit.
Your head resting against my
sapphire ring,
and I will hold you.


You can fall asleep if you want,
or stand and balance
if you feel brave,
just trust that you can do whatever you feel
and I won't let you fall.
